Skilled New Zealand Citizen - Australian Family Sponsored Visa - Subclass 862

This visa is only for application inside Australia, and you must be in Australia when your visa is granted on a Special Category Visa. 

This visa for permanent residency in Australia is very similar to the other skilled visas for New Zealand citizens. The difference is that an Australian relative may sponsor you, and the relative may live in a city area of Australia. You will gain extra points for sponsorship, and this visa IS points tested. These extra points are awarded by the immigration authorities because migrants with sponsors settle more easily into Australian life and more quickly become self-supporting. You must also have an Assurer (someone to give an assurance of financial support) who can be your sponsor, but not necessarily.  

To sponsor a migrant to Australia, you must be either a permanent resident or a citizen, or an eligible New Zealand citizen living in Australia.  If you are an Australian permanent resident, then you must have been in Australia for a reasonable period (about two years), and be financially independent before you can sponsor someone else.
